| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Albert,I agree with your assessment that CD format is the limiting factor, not digital itself. Still, technology details aside, many CDs do sound better to me than their lp equivalents in practice (and vice versa). There is no practical winner in ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool,How is it that good digital pictures (better than analog/film many would say) can be had with the latest digital cameras for just a couple of hundred dollars but it still costs 10s of thousands to get digital audio right?I know they are ... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Cool. By coincidence, I happened to pick up a second hand copy of "Mutual Respect" for a few bucks not long ago at the local music store for no reason other than it featured the Hammond Organ in a small jazz ensemble recording. It has been one of ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I think the main thing is to make sure the pre is designed to work with either low or high output MC cartridges, or both.Input impedance is another factor I think but less of an issue in most cases I believe as long as the input impedance of the p... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Yes, absolutely.

| Personal speaker evolution If you liked the older Walshes, you'll love the newer series 3 line. 100's cost under $2000 and sound much like Walsh 5 in the average room. Walsh 5 does more in larger rooms and has level adjustments, but these are not needed for most music in mo... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Texas42,Cheeze man, you've really run the gamut!Lots of good designs there. You must have heard it all! | |
| Buying used vs. New One thing I've found buying used on ebay is beware when the seller is a high volume general seller who happens to get a nice piece of equipment in. There is a good chance there will be issues for discerning ears.Stick with sellers that specialize ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "Those of us who have open ears are the ones keeping analog alive"Assuming we're talking about vinyl specifically, actually I think it is those of use with large existing record collections and those shopping for used vinyl that is keeping the equ... | |
| So whats your favorite music themed movie? Regarding Bond films, "You Only Live Twice" is my favorite overall musically.I also like "All Time High" specifically from Octopussy. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I like vinyl and digital.I would agree that analog is more mature today than digital (its been a round a lot longer). But it also ain't going anywhere new at this point. It is what it is and is ever going to be anything much more. That's jut the r... | |
